Have you ever experienced such a situation? As a content creator, when I go to work, I encounter the need for video color grading and the need to match colors to design posters, but because the color gamut and color accuracy of the computer monitor are too poor, the final color is different from the expected.
Or as an ordinary user, after work, you open your computer and want to enjoy the recently found 4K HDR movie, but because of the poor brightness and color performance of the monitor, it affects your movie viewing experience?
If the eye is the window of the human mind, then windows are the display.
Why do we need a good screen?
If you are asked which is the most important component of a computer, different people will have different answers, some people will say CPU, some people will say power supply, and some people will say motherboard. Admittedly, these parts are indispensable to forming a computer that can run, but the results of their operation are ultimately brought to your eyes by this display. It is precisely for this reason that the display quality also affects the user's experience.
For laptops, this is even more important, after all, as a representative of "portable", most of the work scenarios of notebooks are still mobile offices, and they need to have the ability to use them anytime and anywhere, so for many content creators, it is quite important to have a notebook with excellent screen quality.
Requiring portability, then the fuselage needs to be thin and light, and when it comes to office thin and light, it is necessary to mention Lenovo's YOGA series.
A new generation of YOGA for content creators
The YOGA series has always been the main business office model, positioning itself as a work and business person, and its classic S series is also welcomed by many business office people.
As we all know, the YOGA S series is available in 13, 14 and 16-inch versions. Among them, 13 and 14 inches are mainly light and portable, and the lightweight fuselage will not bring too much burden even if it is carried around. The large screen 16 inches brings more productivity while retaining some portability.
This year's YOGA 16s 2022 is a big-screen productivity book for creators.
As mentioned above, the screen is very important for notebooks, and for the creator, it needs to have higher requirements for the screen.
The YOGA 16s 2022 has 2560x1600 resolution and a high color gamut of 100% sRGB, peak brightness of up to 500 nits, and supports HDR 400 and 10-bit color depth. According to our measured data, the YOGA 16s in our hands reached 99% of the sRGB color gamut, and the color accuracy average ΔE
In addition, yoga 16s also supports a 120Hz refresh rate at 10-bit color depth, and users can also switch to 144Hz +8-bit color depth in the BIOS to get a higher refresh rate.
See here you may say, just look at these parameters as if YOGA 16s is not very prominent, then here we have to talk about the highlight of YOGA 16s 2022 - touch.
Yoga 16s 2022 is equipped with a touch screen, support ten-point touch, and with a refresh rate of 120Hz to make the touch experience very follow-up, although not as good as the flagship phone but in the laptop is already very good. In addition to the fingers, the stylus can be used to perform more elaborate operations, so that you can write, draw and paint at any time even if you do not have professional equipment such as pen tablets.
Don't need a good screen if you're not a content creator?
It's an indisputable fact that content creators need a good screen, but don't ordinary users have no requirements for screens? In fact, in today's increasing 4K Blu-ray and HDR content, the requirements of ordinary users for high-quality screens are actually not empty.
Nowadays, the major domestic streaming media video platforms have launched their own HDR movies, videos and other content, and many people have their own 4K HDR Blu-ray movie resources, if the screen does not support HDR, forced hdR video will be color cast, overexposed and other problems that greatly affect the perception.
The YOGA 16s has passed the HDR 400 certification, has a 10-bit color depth, supports Dolby Atmos, and cooperates with a large screen and a good color gamut and color accuracy performance, allowing users to enjoy a variety of blockbusters anytime, anywhere.
It is worth noting that yoga 16s has also passed the T-Rühle hardware low blue light and T-Rüngen V Eyesafe eye protection two certifications, which can reduce the damage to the eyes caused by long-term work and movie watching.
Consistent and powerful
The performance requirements of the office book are much smaller than the game book, so some manufacturers will cut the performance of the office book for various reasons. The YOGA 16s in terms of performance is still not shrinking, we have this R7 5800H + RTX 3050 unique version, it can be said that in the office field is a higher configuration. Of course, just say that we don't practice the fake handle, let's use the actual test to see the performance of yoga 16s.
The first is the test of the CPU, Cinbench R23 single-core 1435, multi-core 11633;
CPU-Z single-core score 588.6, multi-core score 5535.5.
For graphics cards, 3DMark Time Spy scored 4809 points and WildLife test scored 24759 points. The overall performance test PCMark scored 6072.
From a performance point of view, the YOGA 16s is no problem to handle daily work, design, edit videos and even do some AE effects and simple 3D modeling. We also conducted some practical tests, Pr clip 1080P video, AE to do some relatively simple special effects YOGA 16s can be very smooth to complete, light 4K video editing and slightly more complex AE effects, simpler 3D modeling can also be competent.
Of course, you would definitely want to ask if it can play games? Of course, although the performance is not as good as the professional game book, but after the actual test play of large online games such as "League of Legends" and "CS:GO" can still get a higher frame rate in medium and high quality.
In addition, yoga 16s can also run smoothly in low to medium quality.
Strong strength, battery life, heat dissipation must also keep up
After reading the above tests, I believe you have a certain understanding of the performance of yoga 16s, but this brings another question - how is its thermal performance?
According to lenovo's official introduction, YOGA 16s is equipped with dual fans + double D8 heat pipes, you may be worried about whether you can hold down the combination of 5800H + 3050, then the next use of actual measurements.
At room temperature of 27 degrees, we double-bake for 30 minutes. It can be seen that in terms of power, the CPU is 25W and the graphics card is 55W, reaching the officially advertised double-baked 80W level. At this power, the temperature of the CPU and graphics card can be stabilized at about 70 degrees. Although it does not have the usual super cooling configuration of the gamebook, the YOGA 16s can still ensure that the temperature is maintained at a low level.
In terms of battery life, YOGA 16s is equipped with a large battery of 75Wh, after our actual testing, in the balanced power mode, turn on the maximum brightness to play 4K HDR video for 30 minutes and consume 12% of the power, this battery life level is still relatively good.
Low-key appearance, complete interface
As a notebook that focuses on business office, YOGA 16s is destined to have too many fancy decorations in appearance, but this does not mean that YOGA 16s has not worked appearance.
Yoga 16s A, C, D three-sided fuselage surface using sandblasting process, the feel is very delicate. The chamfer of the fuselage part adopts the CNC drilling process, which keeps the edges of the fuselage sharp while still retaining a point of roundness.
Overall, yoga 16s reflects a business style everywhere in the appearance, no superfluous decoration, clean, clean, low-key and sharp at the same time.
In terms of keyboards, YOGA 16s is equipped with a numeric keypad, which can greatly improve the efficiency of work and life use with media control keys.
Finally, in terms of interface, the left side of the fuselage is equipped with a power interface, an HDMI interface, a full-featured USB-C interface that supports 100W PD charging and DP protocol, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
On the left side of the fuselage is an SD card slot and two 3.2 Gen 1 USB-A ports. It can be said that the vast majority of user needs are basically taken into account in terms of interfaces.
